Removing front grill

Howdy folks!
Happy Long weekend!

While many of us are taking a much needed break to enjoy the summer temps, my GF and I have decided to move forward with our FIT projects.
Next on the list is to finish Hyperdipping (plastidip) the front grill.
I was considering masking off the entire area or the headlights, hood and bumper.
Instead I figured this would be a great time to address the sagging bumper as well as upgrade the horns to something a little more "authoritative".

So in regards to the front grill, I know I have to remove the front bumper.
Once it's off, are the fasteners re-useable? or will I have to purchase replacements to get the grill to stay in place (like it is from the factory).

thanks in advance

You can. When they get old and have alot of road dirt they may break when you remove them. Order a bunch on amazon or pick a few up at the dealer for $1.50 each. I grabbed a hundred for the whole car. Splash guards, bumper mudflaps etc. $17.00 the tool that come with them is easier to remove them. I use them on the neighbours cars too.

Thanks for the info!
Do you have a link/part number of the parts you purchased?
